Oh boy life in limbo is strange. I emailed ICYE yesterday, who emailed me back to say that no no, it's fine, they organise my flights. And they'll get back to me about when my training is.
I love that I'm actually being cared for and looked after and generally seen out of any trouble with this whole trip - it's three thousand times more reassuring than Erasmus was. I've been in contact with my Austrian coordinator, my soon-to-be boss, my soon-to-be mentor, my predecessor - all are lovely. My predecessor is even suggesting I come to Graz early so that she can show me the ropes. It's absolutely lovely.
However.
I am powerless to do anything!
I have over two months still to fill in which all I can do to prepare for this trip is to learn German and earn money. These both sound like occupations that should keep me well, erm, occupied, but it's not enough! I have nothing to plan! No lists to make! Every time I try to make a 'Graz trip' list, all that's on it is 'learn German'. EVERYthing is out of my control. I just get to sit back and enjoy the ride. Which means spend two months twitching.
I know, I know, I should be grateful, and believe me I am. Insanely grateful. Just kind of at a loss at the moment.
